Yoko Ono flies in from New York to watch Queen open Museum of Liverpool | Mail Online
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh traveled up to Liverpool today to officially open a new museum that honours the city. One of the biggest draws of the Museum of Liverpool promises to be the exhibits dedicated to the city's most famous export, The Beatles. John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, also attended the opening.
There was a hush in the main hall as the Queen arrived. She smiled widely as she shook hands with Yoko - who had flown in from New York especially - and the Japanese philanthropist later raved about their meeting. Speaking of the Queen's burgundy wool coat and dress, designed by Karl Ludvig, Yoko said she was struck by how youthful the Queen was looking and was impressed by her choice of colours. She said: 'I was so amazed. That particular colour (burgundy) - it made her look so young, so elegant. 'She is always elegant. It's always nice to meet her.'
The Queen and Duke were given a 50-minute tour of the new building on the city's waterfront, after which the Queen unveiled a plaque commemorating the occasion. Writer Phil Redmond, who is the museum's chairman said: 'She was really interested and got engaged in a lot of things as we walked around.'

Much the same report as the MailOnline.
However, the Telegraph includes a short video showing Yoko Ono meeting HM. Yoko is very deferential.
-> Definitely worth a look!
v Here's a screen cap of Yoko Ono making a deep curtsey to HM. Other bobs follow.
